No. That type of self-dealing would be too easy to challenge in court. It would constitute self-dealing by the AIF which is a violation of statutory laws that govern fiduciaries. An attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney should bot be involved with the making of a will. If the principal wants to make the AIF their beneficiary, the principal should have the will drafted and properly executed by an attorney.
